The real reason Trump wants to invade/buy Greenland

[sartre play]

The idea it is about national security is pure bullshit.

Follow the money:

Ronald Lauder: The heir to the Estée Lauder fortune, is credited with giving Trump the idea of taking over Greenland during his first term, former White House national security adviser John Bolton confirmed to Forbes.
Lauder has since invested, according to the Danish newspaper Politiken, in an unprofitable Greenlandic freshwater bottling company co-owned by Jørgen Wæver Johansen, local chair of the governing Siumut party in Nuuk and husband to Greenland’s minister of foreign affairs, Vivian Motzfeldt, raising concerns about political interference.
Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg: All have invested since 2019 in Kobold Metals, which has looked for valuable rare earth minerals used in electronic devices through AI-powered exploration of the island.
Sam Altman: The OpenAI CEO invested in Kobold in 2022.
Peter Thiel: The Paypal and Palantir tech titan funded in early 2021 the startup Praxis, which aims to build a technologically advanced “freedom city” on the island.
Howard Lutnick: Trump’s Secretary of Commerce served as CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, which has invested in Greenland mining company Critical Metals Corp. for over three decades (he has since divested from Cantor and transferred his shares to his adult children).

If we know anything by now, is that with Trump it is all about the grift.

If it will line Trump’s pockets or help the billionaire class, the American government is at their disposal.

INTERESTING info.

 

[Oddball]

invade, no.

acquire, yes.

While I generally recoil at such notions, this one make geostrategic sense....Northern Marianas on the arctic.

 

[alang1216]

your opinion.

4 presidents over the last 160 years have had different ideas.

My opinion was for today. 160 years ago, it might have been different.

 

[jknowgood]

There is no legitimate reason to invade Greenland.

Hey Clayton, Trump said breathing air is great for you!

 

[buttercup]

Amazing to see people cheering for the North American Technate.

 

[22lcidw]

There is no legitimate reason to invade Greenland.

You not liking it is a perfect reason.

 

[Darkwind]

It is amazing the number of mind readers that exist in the Fascist Democrat Socialist Party.

 

[luiza]

There is no legitimate reason to invade Greenland.

Why do you need a reason that is legitimate , Celia ?

If you have sufficient power and wealth you can achieve most things through your own endeavours .

Simply see your "invasion" as a profitable investment and any concerns evaporate .
That is obviously more difficult for people like Cult Christians but then they are invariably the big losers in the real world .

 

[JimH52]

So these people are already exploring Greenland, so what difference does it make to them regarding who owns Greenland?
All the people you listed are lefties BTW.

You don’t understand. Nothing short of OWNING Greenland is good for trump. He and his daddy Vlad probably cooked up this plan during their date in Alaska.

Destroying NATO is trump number one goal. A promised trump hotel is Moscow is on the line.

 

[Mr Natural]

Now, how would it look if the Nobel Peace Prize winner went around invading other countries?

Is there anything wrong with US investment in Greenland?

using the same reasons

Really? I didn't realize the Golden Dome went back that far but I do appreciate people who just make stuff up.

Golden Dome?

you think that's the ONLY reason trump wants it?

"The report indicated Greenland had promise as a large island with abundant natural resources, from wildlife, whale blubber and coal, as outlined by the document available online."

"Ultimately, Germany never invaded Greenland during the war, but because the island served as an important asset, the United States had a heightened interest."

So it is not our security that concerns us, contrary to what Trump has said, but their resources we want? Are they refusing to sell them to us? I haven't heard of a recent whale blubber shortage.

one o the reasons for acquiring Alaska, was to have a barrier in the Pacific.

Having a similar barrier in the Atlantic could only be beneficial.

 

[pknopp]

Weve been there. Not good.

Careful, don't break your back trying to justify Trump's crazy. I guess having Canada isn't enough of a barrier? Is that why we want Venezuela, a southern barrier for the Gulf of America? Obviously we'll need Cuba too.

 

[Dekster]

Trump wants Greenland because it will get him in the history books as something other than the most deranged president in history

Who is going to defend Greenland against daddy Vlad?
